When the guards rushed into the Houde Hall and escorted Yu Flip away, Yu Flip looked calm, without the slightest panic, as if he was invited, and swaggered away from the Houde Palace.

Liu Xi didn't think about it anymore, there are many talents in the Di Bao Mansion, Chen Lin and others can take over Hua Xiong's position, they don't need to care about these things at all, Liu Xi finished eating, and then corrected the full pet recital, as for the late night, his eyes were a little blurred, he just put down the paperwork, Qi Yue stood at the door, waiting, the Son of Heaven walked out of the Houde Palace, and walked towards the apse.

Entering the main hall, the queen had already coaxed the little guy to sleep, and when she saw the Son of Heaven walking in, she didn't make a sound, for fear of waking up the little guy, Liu Xi sat aside tiredly, her whole body was sore, and the whole person softened, the queen walked to his side, helped him, and took off her clothes, leaving only the dirty clothes, Liu Xi drooped her head. Keep your eyes closed.

"Your Majesty....", Empress Lu called out and gently helped him rub his temples, Liu Xi put her hand on the back of her neck, and the queen gently rubbed the back of her neck again, Liu Xi twisted her head, and seemed to feel better.

Since marrying the Son of Heaven, this is already the norm for Empress Lu, the Son of Heaven will get up very early every day, and when she doesn't open her eyes, she will leave here and go to the Houde Palace, at noon and evening, it is difficult for the family to have a meal together, just because the Son of Heaven is too busy, and he sees him so diligent, but he can't help her, which makes the queen feel very uncomfortable.

Sometimes, the queen really wants to scold all the ministers in the temple in front of her, asking them what they eat, why the king of a country is so tired, and where have the ministers gone?

At first, Liu Xi did not show such fatigue, when he first ascended the throne, he was still extremely energetic, every day he walked into the Houde Hall with a smile, and told Lu Hou about the interesting things in the temple, the two often laughed, and felt that it was extremely interesting, but as the days were postponed, Liu Xi seemed to be more and more unable to bear such fatigue, and he was so weak to walk into the Houde Hall all day long, and he was so tired that he couldn't even lift his head.

Liu Xi's appearance really made Empress Lu feel distressed.

Liu Xi slowly raised his head, looked at the sleeping little guy, and asked, "Why did he sleep so early today?" ”

"I took him around the palace today, I must be tired..."

"Empress...."

"Huh?"

"I'm so tired..."

"I know, Your Majesty...", Empress Lu said, her head lightly resting on Liu Xi's shoulder, Liu Xi put her head on her face and closed her eyes.

Sikong Province

Hua Xin went out early in the morning and rushed to Sikong's door, yesterday, after coming out of the Houde Palace, he arrived at Sikong Mansion, but he waited for nearly two ministers, and he couldn't see Sikong, and everyone in Sikong Mansion didn't know where Sikong went, which was very puzzling, until late at night, he couldn't wait for Sikong to return home, Hua Xin was helpless, this was the first time he was so disgusted with abolishing the curfew!

As a result, Hua Xin had already rushed to the door of Sikong Mansion today and did not give Sikong a chance to leave.

knocked on the door of Sikong Mansion, Hua Xin just waited for a moment, and then a slave came out, the slave opened the door, bowed to Hua Xin, and asked, "Old man, I don't know what to order?" ”

Hua Xin asked, "I'm here to see Liu Sikong, I don't know if Sikong is there?" ”

"Sikong is not here.... This old man, let's come back later! The slave arched his hand and said, Hua Xin was so angry that he almost jumped up, he looked at the slave in front of him irritably, and said: "I waited here for a long time yesterday, I don't know, I didn't see it, but today, he should know about me looking for him, how can he still go out?" “

"What's more, it's only dawn, where can Sikong go? Didn't you deliberately avoid me?? I came here on the orders of the Son of Heaven, and if I delay important matters, even if I am commonplace, I will be questioned! Hua Xin said stiffly, the servant in front of him looked distressed, and said: "Forgive me, it's not that Sikong is hiding, he went to breakfast... Therefore it is not there. “

"Meal?? Nuoda's Sikong Mansion doesn't even have a meal?? Still going out to eat?? You're fooling me! Hua Xin was furious and said, "I'll go to the Houde Hall now and tell Sikong!" As he spoke, he was about to leave, but the servant hurriedly stopped in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Don't dare to coax the duke, if the duke doesn't believe it, you can go and see it yourself..."

"Sikong often goes to a restaurant in the east of the city.... Gong went to the east of the city, turned left in Jimin Mansion, and you could see a small alley, where Sikong should be! The servant said, remembering something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Sikong has always been wearing civilian clothes, and it is not easy to show his public body, and he hopes that the public will not tell it." Hearing the slave's words, Hua Xin was skeptical.

My Han's Sikong, the dignified three dukes, still have to eat on the street??

However, there is no need for this slave to deceive himself, so he should go to the side of the street and have a look, and if he is not there, he will go to the Hall of Virtue and impeach him.

Hua Xin thought to himself, got into the carriage, and slowly hurried towards the place where the slave said.

In the Wang Ji meat porridge shop, Liu Bei was in a happy mood, eating meat porridge, looking at the daily life of the people on the street, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was watching, a carriage suddenly stopped on the opposite side, and the old Wang Tou, who was chopping meat, was always vigilant and looked around, and suddenly saw the carriage, he was shocked, and said in a low voice: "If there is any situation, you can leave first, and the meal money will be settled tomorrow." “

Liu Bei and the others nodded.

Hua Xin walked down from the carriage, and looked at it like this, hey, Sikong was really sitting there, wearing that clothes, not looking carefully, and thinking that it was an old man from a peasant family, and he couldn't see the atmosphere of wealth at all, Hua Xin thought in his heart, so he walked straight towards him, and when he saw Hua Xin, Liu Bei frowned, thought for a moment, and then remembered who he was.

The two of them are ministers in the same court, not to mention, before, because of the ownership of the official school, Liu Bei also met with this person, and finally belonged to Situ's command, yesterday, Liu Bei was busy for a day, returned to the house, heard that Hua Xin was visiting, and thought about his purpose, and did not come up with a reason, I didn't expect that this guy would chase here.

In the old king's panicked eyes, Hua Xin came to Liu Bei's face, saluted Liu Bei, and said, "Brother, it turns out that you are here!" Liu Bei nodded, and the old Wang Tou, who was about to escape, stopped and wiped the sweat on his forehead, it turned out to be the third brother, no, this person looks older than him, and besides, aren't they the third brothers? ?

Liu Bei hadn't opened his mouth yet, when someone suddenly said, "Ah, Shiro is here, come, sit down!" “

Hua Xin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Bei's side, so at a glance, Hua Xin's legs were weak and he almost fell, Mom, isn't this the court? And when the court captain?!

From their salutations, Hua Xin understood their thoughts, so he bowed and said, "Meet the eldest brother, two... Third brother? “

"You're really strange, you don't even know your brother's rank?" , The old king muttered, Cao Cao smiled and said: "He was passed on to others when he was a child, and it's normal not to remember, old Wangtou, give my fourth brother a bowl to eat...."

Hua Xin sat down cautiously, Cao Cao looked at him with a smile, Liu Bei's face was serious, and he couldn't see the cloudy sunshine, and Sun Jian's eyes were even more scrutinized, as if he felt that he had ulterior motives for coming.

"Division... Kindness... Brother, I'm coming to you for something important.... It was the one from the north who asked me to come. “

Hua Xin looked at Liu Bei and said in a low voice.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Eat something, let's talk about these things...", Hua Xin immediately agreed, Lao Wang put porridge on his head, looked at the four of them, and couldn't help shaking his head, "The old man has lived for so long, I have never seen such a strange brother of yours, and there is no similarity in appearance and height.... Forget it...", the old king seemed to have noticed something, but he didn't say anything.

Cao Cao just smiled, ate meat porridge, looked at Hua Xin on the side, and asked with a smile: "Fourth brother, what's the matter, I need you to come to Erlang in person?" “

"Well, I don't know if the three brothers know, it is said that this official school, Taixue will collect money, and in the future, institutions of higher learning will collect a lot of money, especially Taixue, which may not be able to be paid by ordinary people... Of course, for the poor people, there is still support, in addition, the official school is also, from this year, there will be a fee, the three brothers may not know? Hua Xin asked.

As soon as Hua Xin said this, the three of them immediately understood his intention.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and asked, "That one seems to think this thing is good?" “

Before Sun Jian could speak, Liu Bei happily slapped his knee and exclaimed, "Great! This is long overdue! Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, the old king in the distance was stunned, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Do you think it's good??" Is it okay to collect money? Don't you have any children at home? Liu Bei cleared his throat and said, "Old Wangtou, you don't know, this official matter is so overwhelming that the treasury is almost out of money..."

"I heard that the temple wants to relieve the victims in some places, but there is no money, not to mention, these young children, free admission to the official school, do not cherish such an opportunity at all, do not care at all, I think, if it is charged, even if they continue to care, for parents, they will definitely care, what do you say?"

Liu Bei asked, the old king was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "That's right, my three children, the first two are unwilling to go to school, and I didn't supervise them well, so I ended up where I am now. He said, suddenly glanced at Hua Xin, and then refused to speak.

In his opinion, the people who came in the carriage were naturally not ordinary people, and just now they were quick to talk, and when they said those words, the old king was a little uneasy in his heart.

Liu Bei still seemed more excited, His Majesty made this decision, he agreed very much, and only he knew that the official school cost the treasury a lot of money, seeing his appearance, Cao Cao shook his head disdainfully, at this age, he can't be more stable, it's really a shame for the third duke's face, he shook his head and said: "Second brother, just listen to these things, just forget it, be more steady." “

"Brother, you don't know, I've heard... The annual expenditure of the state treasury for government education is more than 200 million yuan! “

"What?!", Cao Cao almost jumped up, his eyes widened, and he didn't show any steadyness.
